Code:<network>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
with this in place, XBMC will download http videos to disk transparently, you might have noticed there is new buffer info in the dialog ? If you pause playback, this will increase until it reached 100% this means the full video clip sits local on hdd. It can best be described as how Youtube works in a WWW browser or Quicktime.
So if you're feeling that youtube is throttling you too much, simply pause playback for a minute or so and that should give trouble free playback for X mins depending on length of clip and your connection.
Hi, i would love this functionality, but can someone clarify what git HEAD is? are these the nightly builds? I am currently using the last stable release of xbmc, but if you mean nightlies i will certainly update just to get this functionality. if its not nightlies can you maybe explain further waht that is and where i can get the git HEAD
